Can you put on makeup after my Vitalize Peel?

It is not recommended to put on makeup until the peeling has stopped, in roughly 2 to 4 days. Moisturizer may be worn while the face is peeling, to flatten and smooth the feathery look of peeling skin. After that time, makeup may be put on as usual.

Recovery from a Vitalize Peel:

Soon after a Vitalize Peel, the skin might be slightly red and swollen, though these will clear out fast. Two or 3 days after the peel, the skin will start to lightly peel. The process will continue for the next 3 to 4 days; after roughly one week, the skin must be completely healed.

The Vitalize Peel needs less downtime compared to other, more conventional Chemical Peels. Patients are free to get back to school or work that same day. Rigorous exercises and activities must be put off for the first 24 hours after treatment, though some might wait until the peeling process is complete (4 to 7 days).
